Resumen
In Brazil, research to quantify annoyance caused by aircraft noise on people living close to
airports and air bases is still incipient. Due to the augmented risk of accidents associated to
armed aircraft operations but also due to noise emissions by military aircraft air bases, in
general, should be located far away from populated areas. Nevertheless, urban development
often approximates habited areas to airbases, causing several problems. The actual work
aimed to investigate the opinions of a community, composed by civilians and military
personnel, that resides close to the Santa Maria airbase (BASM) regarding various aspects,
such as aircraft noise and satisfaction with other aspects, such as interference of aircraft noise
in daily life, general effects of aircraft noise and individuals attitudes against exposure to
aircraft noise. Besides the presence of the BASM and the actual operations on that airbase an
expected expansion of the passenger terminal, which is expected to cause an increase in the
number of civil aircraft operations and consequently an increase of noise emission, was
relevant for the development of this research. The methodology adopted was of qualitative
and quantitative nature. By means of observation of the daily life and the use of semistructured
interviews the researcher seeked the approximation to the phenomenon of
discomfort caused by aircraft noise in the vicinity of Santa Maria Air Base. The qualitative
data obtained were analysed using the Grounded Theory, resulting in a conceptual model that
shows the relationship between aircraft noise, context of the neighborhood and satisfaction
with other aspects than aircraft noise. Based on the results from the qualitative data analysis a
structured questionnaire was developed. The questionnaire was applied to 400 individuals in
order to measure those aspects that were identified as important during the qualitative
approximation the phenomenon of discomfort caused by aircraft noise in the vicinity of Santa
Maria Air Base. The results were analysed using univariate and multivariate statistics
(Principal Axis Factoring). Factor scores for the effects factor and the annoyance the aircraft
operations factor were computed and compared between civilians and military personnel
showing both groups are similarly affected by the aircraft operations the comparison of the
individual scores of civilians and military personnel on the annoyance the aircraft operations
factor showed that the civilians feel more incomfortable than the military personnel
